    Screenshot 2022-01-29 151744.jpg This XJ650 went for sound money, nothing crazy, but what we'd hope for in a private, I think.

    Don't know what the mechanical/operational condition was of that bike, but that is ridiculously dirt-cheap. The cost of parts....not even mentioning labor costs (hours)......to bring a "typical" bike of this nature to that condition would be close to $3K, easy.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'd say that bike could be easily parted-out for more than $ 1650:

    - complete original exhaust system in that condition: $700
    - big headlight: $300
    - gauge set in that condition: $ 250
    - rebuilt carbs set: $ 400
    - gas tank in that condition: $ 700
    - and you still have all of the other parts (engine, seat, side covers) leftover.........

    Looks like the seller had two, one says project bike so might be a non-runner. Still cheap in my opinion!!
